Mao-san, I always enjoy reading your posts. minne is a handmade marketplace that is kind to artists, as it sends out a pop-up message saying "Congratulations!" when someone likes your item, and supports artists like minneLab. I make my work using haute couture embroidery, a technique that involves hand-embroidering beads and sequins with a French crochet hook. The materials are expensive, and it often takes 18 to 20 hours to complete a single piece, even a small brooch. Also, since I'm not a popular artist, I don't have a lot of materials in stock, and I spend a lot of effort ordering materials. In the previous broadcast, an embroidery artist was worried about not making a profit, and I have the same tendency. I'm nowhere near as popular as a popular artist, but it's a lot of fun to make something, but there are times when I feel sad when it sells. I often end up with a sad result of receiving a resale order for a very labor-intensive work, and even if the price is in the red, no one even writes a review. Sad may be an exaggeration. Most people send me messages telling me their thoughts, or encouraging me by saying how they use it. For customers, it may be a relief if the work arrives safely, and anything more is a hassle. They may be happy that there are no complaints. However, I am very envious of popular artists who have thousands and tens of thousands of reviews. Popular artists, including those who did not receive reviews, have sold several times more than the reviews. I thought that it was important for beginners to steadily accumulate reviews, but is that too much of a wish? Is it all about not worrying too much about reviews and working hard to make good things? I started on minne about two years ago, and at first I got a lot of likes, but I didn't sell anything at all. I think I have been working hard to improve my photography and production skills little by little. Also, after I realized the importance of search words and made a conscious effort to use search words that would reach customers who sympathize with my work, I started to sell a little bit every month. * * "Good morning! minne LAB" is always looking for artists' concerns.
